Emblem. 2. DE CERVO, AD NOBIbilissimum Dominum de bonis studiosisque, omnibus optime meritum Comitem Essexium.
The same in English.
Renowmed Earle loc in your armes you beare,not without cause a loftie headed Deare,
such properties well might you haue,
which are found in this beast so braue,
as hee the cud doth chawe,
so thinke you on Gods Lawe.
leape wee as an Hart
in heauen we haue part:
swift he to runne,
so euil we must shun.
for water he doth lust,
for faith wee labour must.
euen so then these fowre are all:
good thinges oft to minde to call
to ioy in spirite, to be patient,
for faith to thirst which is neuer spent:
to meditate, beare, seeke, enioy, these sower
things holy, cuill, good, hope, to blesse haue power.
